  • Patent number: 11643645
    Abstract: One aspect of the present invention provides a nucleic acid extraction device. The nucleic acid extraction device includes a container which stores each of a cleaning solution and an eluting solution, a water level sensor configured to detect amounts of the cleaning solution and the eluting solution which are stored in the container, a tube sensor configured to sense a sample tube disposed on a sample tube accommodation portion, and an operation initiation portion configured to determine whether the cleaning solution and the eluting solution which are necessary for a nucleic acid extraction operation are provided on the basis of the number of such sample tubes which is sensed by the tube sensor and the amounts of the cleaning solution and the eluting solution which are sensed by the water level sensor.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10577597
    Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, there is disclosed an apparatus for nucleic acid extraction and an operation method thereof. The apparatus for nucleic acid extraction includes: a first rack having a plurality of sample tube receivers arranged in a circle; a second rack having a plurality of elution tube receivers arranged in a circle on an outer side thereof and a washing solution receiver positioned at the center thereof, a part of the washing solution receiver extending outwards to have projections formed in alternation with a plurality of the elution tube receivers; a main body having the first and second racks arranged to position the first rack on the top of the second rack; a rotational driver for separately rotating the first and second racks; a dispenser for separately dispensing a washing solution and an eluting solution into sample tubes; and a pressurizer for maintaining the inside of the sample tubes under raised pressure.
